Na'er suddenly wilted.
She felt so useless.
She wanted to help her brother, but she couldn't help at all.
Feeling Na'er's mood change, Li Luo couldn't help asking, "Na'er, what's wrong?"
"Brother, I'm so tired." Na'er looked utterly listless. "Could you give me a massage, knead my shoulders, loosen my muscles, and stuff?"
"All right," Li Luo agreed.
"Huh?!" Na'er's eyes lit up at once. She hadn't expected Li Luo to agree.
In the past, he would have refused.
He was making an exception now because he'd seen Na'er looking utterly hopeless, as if she'd been crushed.
If he didn't comfort the girl a little, who knew what she might do?
Na'er asked, "Brother, why did you agree this time?"
"Because you're my little sister."
Li Luo reached out and flicked Na'er's nose. "Of course your brother will indulge his little sister."
"Yay!" Na'er jumped up happily.
Li Luo turned over and stood up. "All right, Na'er. Lie down on the bed, and your brother will show you all eighteen of his martial arts."
"Then you can enjoy yourself."
"Mm-hmm~" Na'er lay obediently on the bed.
Li Luo circulated his Soul Power, gathering it between his palms, then performed the Blind Man's Twenty-Four Techniques. Na'er felt as if her whole body had opened up.
Beneath her fluffy clothes,
she began to sweat a little.
Na'er's face started to turn red.
As Li Luo circulated his Soul Power, he couldn't help but carry the Rainbow Dragon King's aura. How could Na'er possibly resist?
It was both achingly good and tingling.
Both painful and pleasurable.
Na'er bit her lip, not daring to make a sound.
She was afraid the sounds she made might come out a little strange.
Li Luo accidentally tickled Na'er.
"Gigglegiggle."
Na'er couldn't help herself. Her whole body shook with laughter, and tears nearly came to her eyes.
She stammered, "B-brother, s-stop for a moment."
"Don't touch there. It's so ticklish."
"Oh?" Li Luo teased with a mischievous grin. "What if your brother doesn't stop?"
"Ah, no! You're a bad brother."
The two of them horsed around.
Na'er's spirits lifted.
At last, she drifted off into a lovely sleep.
It was the same dream.
The same girl.
Deep within Na'er's Soul Sea of Consciousness, the girl spoke to her again, saying that Na'er was the hope of the Soul Beast Clan, its last ray of light.
Leading the Soul Beasts to victory
was Na'er's duty, and one she couldn't shirk.
Na'er ignored the girl, still immersed in the little moments she'd shared with Li Luo.
The girl kept chattering on. "If you think you can't do it, that you won't do a good job, then let me take over. You and I are one. There's no need to distinguish between us. Even if I take over, you won't lose anything..."
In her hazy state, Na'er thought the girl was too noisy.
No, no.
Na'er swatted the girl away with one paw.
Then Na'er entered a sweet dream.
She dreamed of her dear big brother Li Luo, slowly, bit by bit, undressing her...
In the deepest reaches of the Soul Sea of Consciousness,
Gu Yue felt numb all over.
That's right. The girl was Gu Yue.
Na'er was the Silver Dragon King.
Gu Yue was also the Silver Dragon King.
Gu Yue really wanted to strangle herself.
She regretted splitting herself in two back then. Why had she turned herself into two people?
Having two selves was one thing.
The problem was that the other one wouldn't listen to her at all.
She was outrageously rebellious.
Nothing like Gu Yue.
Gu Yue's expression turned solemn as she muttered, "Then don't blame me for using force to take control of this body."
Gu Yue was confident.
She was seven-tenths Silver Dragon.
Na'er was only three-thirteenths Silver Dragon.
It was obvious who was stronger.
Gu Yue's hands blurred, her fingers crossing and folding over one another as she chanted,
"Marili, marili."
"Sesame, sesame."
"..."
Gu Yue's jade-white hands shifted rapidly.
At last!
She cried out, "Transform!"
Unfortunately, she was still right where she'd been.
That meant the secret technique had failed.
Gu Yue was confident. "A step must have gone wrong somewhere. With seven-tenths of the Silver Dragon, I should have completely crushed three-tenths."
"Let me think."
"Where did I go wrong?"
"Oh!"
Gu Yue suddenly understood and slapped her forehead. "After splitting into two, I even forgot some of the incantation."
"But now I remember."
"Not only is there an incantation."
"There are steps, too."
The corners of Gu Yue's mouth curled up. She repeated the same hand movements, while her feet danced like a shaman performing a wild ritual.
"Marili, marili."
"Sesame, sesame."
"Bibila dong."
Gu Yue cried out again, "Transform!"
She was still standing in the same place. She hadn't transformed into Na'er.
Gu Yue's expression darkened.
She had the incantation.
She had the steps, too.
And she had still failed.
"I never imagined Na'er's mental power had already surpassed mine, even with seven-tenths of the Silver Dragon."
Gu Yue reached that conclusion.
Soon, the corners of her mouth curled up again, and confidence returned to her face.
"Changing over directly won't work."
"Then I'll use force."
"Luckily, when I left the Star Dou Forest, I kept a backup plan and left a sliver of my spiritual imprint beside Di Tian."
"I can use the incantation and contact Di Tian through the spiritual imprint."
"Now, let me think. What was the incantation?"
"Bibila dong?"
"My ass?"
Gu Yue slapped her forehead. "Damn it, what was that incantation again? How did I forget it again?"
A night passed.
In the deepest reaches of the Soul Sea of Consciousness,
Gu Yue had two dark circles under her eyes, but her face once again glowed with confidence. "I've ruled out a lot of incantations."
"There are only two possibilities left."
"Heh."
"The advantage is mine!"
But Gu Yue was really tired.
She fell straight asleep.
She slept.
And so Na'er woke up.
And so dawn broke.
Some went to school, while others went to work.
Na'er didn't give up her job just because Li Luo had a million Federation Coins now.
Riding her Soul Guidance Bicycle, she encouraged herself. "What's Brother's is Brother's, and what's Na'er's is Na'er's. It's the thought that counts."
"Na'er still has to keep working hard."
"Charge!"
Meanwhile, Li Luo made his way to Red Mountain Academy.
Before class, Teacher Lin Ximeng told him that the principal had arranged for yesterday's promotional video to be shown on the City Circle.
He could watch it on a Soul Guidance Communicator.
Class was about to start, so Li Luo didn't have time to watch.
But just because he didn't have time didn't mean nobody else did.
At Ruoxi Academy in Aolai City,
a little girl
secretly propped her Soul Guidance Communicator against a book she'd stood upright.
Class was so boring.
She might as well scroll through videos.
She started browsing the videos on the City Circle.
Principal Gao had spent a pretty penny promoting the video.
Before long, the little girl came across it.
"Red Mountain Academy... I think that's a school in Aolai City, too," the little girl said, vaguely remembering it.
But not much.
She wasn't interested in Red Mountain Academy.
Her finger swiped across the screen.
She was about to scroll past the video.
These days, everything was a short video. If nothing caught your attention in three seconds, you swiped it away.
But Principal Gao was a sly old fox.
The first two seconds showed an introduction to Red Mountain Academy.
The third second showed Li Luo.
The moment Li Luo appeared, the little girl's swiping finger was frozen in place.
In just one second, the little girl was completely smitten.
